Malayan Union flag

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please put Malayan Union flag ({{Country data Malayan Union}}) into the related templates section and remove it from the flag variant section as it is wrong to label Malayan Union as Malaysia such as this > as the modern country are not existed yet at the time. Thank you. Leonel Johnson (talk) 00:52, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Leonel Johnson: The line | related2 = Malayan Union can be added without a problem, but removing the 1895 alias can be considered breaking. Unless you are sure that no one is using the alias, I don't think it should be removed. — Andy W. (talk) 01:20, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Andy M. Wang: I'm 100% sure that there is no article using the 1895 alias based from the Wikipedia search records [1] except for only three Wikipedia userpage [2] which can be fixed manually. Hope this will answer your question. Leonel Johnson (talk) 01:28, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and also put {{Country data Kingdom of Sarawak}} and {{Country data North Borneo}} to the related sections. Leonel Johnson (talk) 01:36, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Leonel Johnson: Please review or correct the 55 potential results from a more-correct search. I can see at least two of them need to be fixed first. --Izno (talk) 11:29, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And this query has slightly fewer and is more likely to have produced results which may include the numbered parameter version. --Izno (talk) 11:33, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: Per my comment at 11:33/11:29. Izno (talk) 12:09, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Izno: Done, I have fix all the links into the new template. Can you do it now? Sorry if late replying as I am really busy in the reality. Leonel Johnson (talk) 12:32, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Andy M. Wang: Are you good to go with the above? I'm not entirely sure what the change to be made is too. --Izno (talk) 22:21, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Izno: Looks like it's now to remove the 1895 alias and add | related2 = Malayan Union, | related3 = Kingdom of Sarawak, | related4 = North Borneo. Courtesy ping Andrwsc. Can probably enact this if there are no further comments. — Andy W. (talk) 01:05, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove the 1895 alias yet. There are instances that use {{flagicon}}, {{flagcountry}}, {{fb}} and other templates in the flag template system. You need to examine all instances where the image appears (http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/File:Flag of the Federated Malay States (1895–1946).svg&limit=250) not just the limited search terms above. Also, I do not think that {{Country data Malayan Union}} is the correct replacement for many of those instances, since it should only apply to the years 1946–48. We need {{Country data Federated Malay States}} to be created and used for 1895–1946. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 16:54, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the related templates per request. Leonel Johnson it appears that some folks don't feel ready to remove the alias (see above post). Andrwsc suggested a separate country data template for the purpose. Toggling request — Andy W. (talk) 03:16, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Change

| flag alias-1948 = Flag of Malaya.svg
| var2=1948

to

| flag alias-1950 = Flag of Malaya.svg
| var2=1950

to reflect the flag started to use in 1950. Billytanghh (talk) 07:54, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, a couple of usages that would need to be changed, and there's aliases of this template so those would need to be checked too. Perhaps someone knows of a better way to make sure all usages are accounted for? ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 11:08, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. If it's used with the 1948 switch, it implies that it was used then. Where is it indicated that it should be 1950? Primefac (talk) 22:01, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
